Please don't make statements regarding parts of my code when showing your altered code.
The code I posted will work since the hrv excludes those levels, but an op/admin/founder that also has those levels will return multiple levels.
eg: When I join a channel that I'm the founder of, I get mode +qo set
If I then use //mode #channel +hrv $me $me $me
That gives me modes qohvr
thus $nick(#channel,$me,a,hrv) would still return $true as I also have the modes qo on my nick.
